Out of 10,000 online messages, the only one you can be is you. I know I haven’t been blogging for a minute and that’s for (what I felt like was) a good reason. It’s because I kind of got tired of writing. Well, sort of. I got tired of trying to write. Okay, well that wasn’t it…

Schmetails Okay, I know “schmetails” isn’t a real word…but I wanted to send you something this week to make sure you turn that “to-do” list into a “to-done” list. I heard this quote when I spoke in Boise, Idaho earlier this month. Similar to “done is better than perfect,” it’s been helping me out a…

The video called me out on all my excuses. I recently watched a YouTube video about social media. I used to watch a lot of videos when I started in digital marketing almost 6 years ago because I didn’t know much about it and I felt so behind. Your girl was on every training video,…

Who’s Sharpening You? Last week was all about me (and I think you so much for the support!) but today I want to bring you back to a question I asked in the beginning of the year: Who’s Sharpening You? I asked this before in my Sparring Partners blog post, but I think it’s time…

Fear is a tricky thing. It can prompt us to take action or even turn away. It can make us run from it or run to it. But, can I be honest? In business, I get scared all the time! Right now I’m in Boise, Idaho at Craft + Commerce, an event hosted by an…

I was a 17 year old high school junior when it first happened. The darkness of the morning was present and still. I was sick with a fever, ear infection, sinus infection, and severely dehydrated as I had not been able to digest any food in days. I found out a former classmate had committed…

Helping Others By Simply Sharing Your Gifts It’s crazy how meeting new people can really change your perspective about how you share your gifts and your problems in casual conversation with complete strangers. As I write this blog, I’m currently 30,000 feet in the air with good ol’ Southwest airlines. I’m returning from an amazing…

Think Ahead, Plan Ahead Many moons ago, I sat as a sophomore in high school in my Driver’s Ed class. Now, not to toot my own horn (pun intended), but I was a BEAST at Driver’s Ed! You see, my big sister had been letting my roll in the driver’s seat of her Ford ZX2…

I don’t know about you, but it seems like there’s so much noise going around lately. Good, bad, or indifferent…it just seems like there’s a lot of stuff, doesn’t it? There are obligations, RSVP’s, work, graduations, goals, projects, side hustles, commitments, responsibilities…and the list goes on. I’ve been feeling it lately, too. So last week, I…

Can you believe 2018 is almost 50% complete? We’re already in the second quarter of the year, “sprummer” is upon us (because this weather is playing all types of games, I’m not sure if it’s Spring or Summer), and it’s May 6th…MAY 6th! Any who, I wanted to bring you a quick blog post after I read…
